SignalR

In Part 1 I introduced a basic usage of SignalR and talked about the goals we were trying to accomplish with the library. In the next few posts I’m going to show how we can build a real-time user notification and session management system for a web application. In this post I’ll show how we can implement a solution that accomplishes our goals. Before diving back into SignalR it’s important to have a quick rundown of concepts for session management. If we think about how sessions work for a user in most applications it’s usually conceptually simple. A session is…

As more and more applications and services are becoming always on and accessible from a wide range of devices it’s important that we are able to securely manage sessions for users across all of these systems. Imagine that you have a web application that a user tends to stay logged into all day. Over time the application produces notifications for the user and those notifications should be shown fairly immediately. In this post I’m going to talk about a very important notification – when the user’s account has logged into another device while still logged into their existing session. If…
